In this chapter, we learned to set up the machine both for Windows and Mac. We also learned to install Android SDK and update the system path for the same. We learned how to configure an Android Virtual Device and also explore the Genymotion emulator. We also learned to set up Appium, both the server and the GUI app. We explored the Appium GUI app and learned about the different settings we need to use, both for the android and iOS apps. We also explored how we can look up UI locator and check for the context in the app.

In the next chapter, we will start with setting up a project and write the first Appium test.
